The 60th anniversary of
Aston Business School is being marked with a series of events that
include honouring some of the people who have been important in the
school’s history. The first event took place on April 14th with the
presentation of an extremely rare Beta Gamma Sigma Business Achievement
Award to Sir Adrian Cadbury, as well as the naming of lecture theatres;
Adrian Cadbury MBA Lecture Theatre and the Susan Cadbury MBA Lecture
Theatre to recognise Sir Adrian’s long and much appreciated association
with the business school
The visual highlight of the event was the ‘virtual unveiling’ of a
piece of installation art by Eryka Isaak, specially commissioned to
mark the school’s 60th anniversary. Rumours are still unconfirmed that
the impressive and thought provoking glass sculptural artwork suspended
across the ceiling contains a real diamond.
More commemorative events are planned for the summer and organisers
are keen to hear from anyone who has been involved with the school over
the years, particularly in its early days when it began as The
Birmingham Technical School.
